Answer:

C. Rapid rises in price levels made the Zimbabwean dollar near worthless in terms of purchasing power.

Explanation:

As in the given situation it is mentioned that 10 year old boy has the bill of billion dollar this represented that the country really printed the bill of billion dollar. It means that the attempt is to be done in order to print a currenct note of higher denomination that also represent that the country would increased such level also at the same time a big amount is required to purchased the goods and services.

Also the high denomination values would not consist of actual value as they have purchasing power i.e. negligible

Sheldon just joined a new gym and signed up for a one-year membership. Membership fees can be paid in 12 monthly payments of $60
mestny [16]

Answer: $688.17

Explanation:

He has to pay $60 every month on the first day or a lump sum.

The lump sum will be the present value of monthly payments.

This is a stable Cashflow and so is an Annuity and because it is done on the first day of the month it is an Annuity due.

Calculating present value of annuity due is;

= Annuity + Annuity (( 1 - ( 1 + r) ^ -(n - 1)) / r)

= 60 + 60 (( 1 - ( 1 + 0.833%)-¹¹) / 0.833%) )

=60 + 60* 10.4695

= $688.17

Note: interest rate must be divided into 12 to make it monthly rate.

=10%/12

= 0.833%

A business owner makes 1000 items a day. Each day she spends 8 hours producing those items. If hired, elsewhere she could have e
AveGali [126]

Answer:

c. ​$240,000

Explanation:

Her economic profit is given by her revenue deducted by the explicit costs (I=$150,000) and implicit costs (opportunity cost).

Her monthly revenue is:

R=1,000\ (items/day)*30\ days*\$15/item\\R = \$450,000

Her opportunity cost is:

O = 30\ days* 8\ (hours/day)*\$250/hour\\O=\$60,000

Her economic profit is:

P = R-I-O\\P=\$450,000-\$150,000-\$60,000\\P=\$240,000

The answer is c. ​$240,000.

Roman loves corn bread. He buys corn meal and wheat flour in order to make corn bread. His recipe calls for two cups of corn mea
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

(B) U(c,f)=min{2c,f}

Explanation:

This is an example of Leontif utility function which states that the preferences of a consumer is to a constant ratio of quantities of two or more goods in his demand bundles and having an extra unit of a single good will not increase the utility of the consumer and will make the extra unit to waste. But having more units of all the goods in the demand bundle which maintain the constant ratio will increase the utility of the consumer.

A good example usually used in economics is that of a pair of shoe. Having one right and one left of a type of shoe gives a consumer utility at a constant ratio of 1:1, and increasing each leg by multiple of one at every point in time will increase the utility of the consumer, while increasing just only one makes the utility not to change. For instance, having only two left shoe will not give the consumer any utility and make both the left shoe useless.

In the question, the ratio of cups of corn meal, denoted by c, and cups of flour, denoted by f, is 2:1. This implies that to increase the utility of the consumer, c has to increase by a multiple of 2 at every point in time while f has to increase by one at the same point in time to maintain the constant ratio of 2:1. Increasing only c by 2 or only f by 1 will maintain the constant ratio and it will lead to a waste of the increased unit of the affected commodity.

Therefore, option (B) U(c,f)=min{2c,f} is the correct answer that gives a constant ratio of 2:1 = 2c:f.

I wish you the best.
